Issues / Update

Google Play rating is moving up, we have a good chance of hitting visible 4.2 stars by the end of the year. In fact, this week we passed Chrome for Mobile in our average star rating, 4.08 to 4.07, the first time I know of this happened

In terms of Feedback, our input server is down right now so there isn’t a detailed feedback summary yet, but manually rading our input fails to give any new issues. Hopefully the server will be back up and running today as Tyler is PTO Thursday and Friday.
